    <strong>Pervote is now Open Source<br />
        <br />
    </strong>We just released the source code to all of <a href="http://www.pervote.com">Pervote</a>, since we are unable
    to actively improve the source code. The source code is covered by the Apache 2.0 license, which
    means you can pretty much use it for any purpose including commercial use. Go through
    the license file for more details.<br />
    <br />
    The application is written in C#, and built on Asp.Net 2.0 and runs on an Sql Server
    2005 backend. The sources require
    Visual Studio 2005 to compile. It uses AJAX and Javascript extensively, and uses the Prototype library and LightBox. As such, the project might also be useful for learning Asp.Net and AJAX integration,
    and the application uses bare-metal AJAX implementation (without libraries like
    Microsoft Atlas).
    <br />
    <br />
    The latest source will be available from the Google Code <a href="http://code.google.com/p/pervote/">subversion repository</a>.
    The solution is also available as <a href="http://www.pervote.com/open/pervote-src.zip">compressed zip</a>.<br />
    <br />
    And finally, we have not really tested the application for security issues. So take
    adequete precautions when you deploy the application on your production server,
    or rather - Use at your own risk. If you find any holes, let us know so that the
    fix could go into the next release.
    <br />
    <br />
    If you are interested, will give you commit access to
    the subversion repositories.
    Hope you enjoy the release.<br />

    Cheers,<br />
